They are all very good. On the stilt when the water is that clear I usually try to back away enough to also get a pic with the full reflection. Often the mirror image gives a great result. Not a critisim just a point to consider.

thanks for all your comments.
I totally agree with you Rock, the reflection gives you that extra edge to the picture.

Three beauties and what they have in common is the exceelent exposure in the Blacks and Whites even when combined. I would be happy with any of these shots but the special one is the Stilt..Stunning!
